Rossi Rifleman

Went out of my normal range to a gun show in WV today and came across a mint 357 mag trapper. It's a braztech with the lock on the hammer but I still couldn't pass it up. I had to wait over 2 hours to get the NICS check to go through but it was worth it. This makes 4 in my collection now



There was also a 357 24" octagon barrel there for $600 and I saw 2 circuit judges which I've never seen before. One was a 45 stainless and the other a blue 22.

Good find.........

Nice find, I'm looking for the exact same as you got.

I have seen a few 44s lately but this is the only 357 I have ever seen at a show.

Nice find, when was it made? Curious if its new old stock or what

Looks really good

It was marked "used" on the tag but it really doesn't look shot at all. It had a lot of mysterious fuzz in the corners which to me means it sat around a while. The loading gate doesn't have a mark on it.

I ran the number on the Rossi site and it came back with; Your Model Is R92-56008 Production Year 2012

I often think about all the firearms sitting in corners and other spots collecting dust. I bet there is a bunch of them.

That's like my 44 mag LSI Puma. I bought it new in December of 2016. I figure the gun itself has to be older than 2009 since that's around the time Braztech took over.

And I stuck another one on layaway that came into a LGS. It is a blued Braztech 45 colt trapper. I don't have any 45 Colt anything but I figure I can use my 454 Casull dies and be okay.

When I run the serial # on Rossi's sight it says; Your Model Is R92-57008 Production Year 2013. The rifle was listed as used but also mint. It has the original cosmoline still around the barrel bands. I thought the wood was messed up until I touched it.
